Narrowcasting displays on campus

Does your student or study association have a message that might be interesting for many students at our university? Perhaps we can post your student communication message on the information displays.

There are approx. 30 on-campus narrowcasting displays, managed by the department External & Campus Communications of the Marketing and Communications Office. We deploy these displays to inform students, announce events (academic sessions, conferences), and communicate on any emergencies.

Student communication comprises all information to students relating to their studies, for instance, changes in schedules, registration deadlines, course announcements, etc. Communication by study and student organizations is also included.

Crisis communication messages (breakdowns, emergencies, security announcements) are shown on all displays and can take precedence over other messages.

The Sports Center manages its own displays. See below for more information.

The following rules regarding the use of narrowcasting apply.

The maximum display period is two weeks. If you want the message to be shown again, a minimum interim period of six weeks applies.

Depending on the number of messages, the broadcasting time per message may vary.
